It would appear the key part of my experience was finding the system 
powered down with no indication as to why.  Long story short: it looks 
like I have a hardware power issue and that almost nothing of F19 was 
actually upgraded on the first round. I was able to re-run 'fedup' 
successfully, reboot, get the FedUp option again, and a couple of 
thousand upgrades got done. A half hour after completion however, I 
again ran into power issues--neither AC nor battery power seems to work 
now, so it appears the problem was external to 'fedup' and that I really 
need a Lenovo repair shop, here in Baltimore. :=(
